German anti-Communist demonstrations in Berlin and the severe Russian sentences against German participants threatened to cause a new crisis tonight in East-West and Soviet-German relations. It was indicated that the Russians, disturbed over increasingly open German resentment of their policies, had embarked on a ruthless purge of unfriendly Germans.

ANTI-REDS IN HIDING American sources said that more than 100 anti-Communist politicians, living in the Soviet sector, had gone into hiding because of an expected Russian purge of opposition party men. Some of those who have gone underground have escaped into Western sectors, others are. hiding in the homes of friends in the Russian sector. The American informants said they believed an all-out drive against anti-Communists would be started late this week. CURT DISMISSAL British authorities curtly dismiss ed as untrue a Russian protest against the big German demonstra tion last Thursday, and said that Soviet troops themselves provoked the disorders which resulted.

Developments in the conflict were: 1 Maj. Gen. Alexander Kotikov, Russian commandant, angrily protested to the British command against Thursday's demonstration. In which he said "Fascistic bandits desecrated a Russian war memorial and a Russian flag. Kotikov demand ed punishment of the Germans, responsible and guarantees against further incidents.

2 A British official statement re plied that Russian troops themselves caused the, trouble by driving motor vehicles into packed crowds and fir ing weapons into the air. ILLEGAL TRIAL 3 American authorities charged that the Russians illegally were try ing a high German city official, Dr, Kurt Mueckenberg, head of the Berlin coal organization, apparently on sabotage charges. 4. The Russian licensed ADN news service reported that two German brothers had been sentenced to 20 and 25 years forced labor for anti- Russian activities in the Soviet zone o. uerman anger mounted over the 25-year sentences the Russians imposed on five young Germans who took part in last Thursday's dem onstration.

Dwight P. Griswold formally resigned as chief of the American aid mission to Greece today and received President Truman's thanks for "a job well done." Mr. Truman said in a letter accepting Griswold 's resignation that U.

S. aid has not only saved Greece as a democratic nation but maintained "important security interests in this strategic area." The former Governor of Nebraska called at the White House to make a final report on his 13-month tour of duty as supervisor of $340,000,000 spent in military and economic help to Greece. To Save Headquarters Proposed at 22d, Market Map on Page 2 By WILLIAM F. FEIST Immediate closing of 15 of Philadelphia's 35 police stations and demolition of those buildings not needed for municipal purposes was proposed yesterday In a report submitted to the Committee of Fifteen. The report, prepared by James Leonard.

Detroit police expert and Investigator for the Philadelphia Committee of the Pennsylvania Economy League, also recommended the ultimate abandonment of Ave other centrally located station -ouses. which would be replaced by a headquarters station on city-owned land near 22d and Market sts. MILLION SAVING ESTIMATED The changes, if effected, would result in operating economies of more than $1,000,000 annually, the report stated. At the same time, a subcommittee was appointed to draw up plans based on the report. Its members.

Director of Public Safety James H. Malone. Councilman George Max-man, head of Council's Public Safety Committee, and Leonard, were ordered to report back with definite recommendations by Oct. 15. It was suggested that the sub committee seek the approval of councilman and police inspectors in various districts involved before completing their report.

In general, the report pictured the station houses as dirty, dilapidated and "a heritage of a bygone age of police administration." A few of the buildings were described as fire hazards. The station houses listed for im mediate closing, with their functions transferred to adjoining police dis tricts, are: Tenth 1417 N. Front st. Thirteenth 4431 Main st.

Special Deputy Attorney General Laurence C. Eldredge, in Grows Airlift Still Only 65 Pet. Of Capacity By DOROTHY ROCKWELL Inquirer Washington Bureau WASHINGTON, Sept. 15. Th Air Force announced today that it had added 40 more C-54 cargo planes to the Berlin airlift, bringing to 145 the total number of transport involved in the sup ply operation.

The announcement came shortly before Secretary of State George C. Marshall told a press conference he would welcome a little encourage ment about this country's relation with the Soviet Union. AIRLIFT A SYMBOL The Berlin airlift is the symbol cf what is wrong between the two countries. The United States is daily flying in the entire food, fuel and medical supply for that part of Ber lin which is under its control. The operation started when the Russians, in an apparent effort to force the U.

Great Britain and France out of Berlin, blocked the rail lines" leading tc the German capital city. Berlin is a Four-Power island in a sea of Soviet-controlled territory: the United States did not secure a land supply corridor at the time it agreed to Four-Power control of the capital Since the original shut-off of rail communications, the situation ia Berlin has grown increasingly tense. In Moscow, negotiators for the C. Great Britain and France have con-. ferred with both Premier Josef Stalin and Foreign Minister Vyache- slav M.

Molotov in an effort to get the Russians to withdraw the blockade. SECRET CONVERSATIONS The conversations have been pro ceeding for three weeks or more in an atmosphere of greatest secrecy. But the first news of conference results to date came, not from the State Department, but in the form of the Air Force announcement that additional cargo ships were being added to the airlift. This was taken to mean that Gen. Lucius B.

Clay, U. S. military governor in Germany, saw no hope of abandoning the air lift as yet. Rear Adm. John P.

Whitney, deputy chief of the Military Air Transport Service, told reporters on his return from a three-week overseas tour that the Berlin airlift had reached about 65 percent of its capacity. He guessed that it could be Continued on Page 10, Column 3 Marshall Urges Confidence in U.N. WASHINGTON, Sept. 15 (AP). Secretary of State George C.

Marshall today called upon the American people to avoid letting the "passions of the moment" dim their faith in the United Nations. "A spirit of tolerance and understanding Is Uie first ingredient in making the kind of a world we want," Marshall told a meeting of the Federal Bar Association in the Justice Department. Marshall said the American people should not get discouraged over the long negotiations that have marked United Nations' sessions thus far because: "Potracted negotiations may be desirable as a poultice to draw some of. the fever out of the problem in order to permit recovery through peaceful methods of settlement." Warren Starts 4 Campaign in Reno Illustrated on Page 24 RENO, Sept. 15 (UP).

Gov. Earl Warren, of California, opened his campaign here tonight by praising GOP Presidential Candidate Thomas E. Dewey and calling for more conservation in tne West. Speaking from the back platform of his special train. Warren praised Dewey as a man "able to use his head as well as his heart in the interests of good and fair government." Warren was met by an assorted' crowd of over 1000 socialites, gamblers, laborers and housewives as his train arrived at Reno station.

He spoke again from the back platform of his train at nearby Sparks. Nev.

GREGORY Inquirer Washington Bureau WASHINGTON, Sept.

15. At torney General Tom C. Clark today accused the "Big Four" meat packers of violating the Sherman Anti-Trust Act and asked the Federal court to break them up into smaller companies. In a civil suit filed In the Dis trict Court at Chicago, Clark charged the meat packers with "sup pressing competition In the sale of meat and meat products." He also sought to divide the Big Four" Armour Swift the Cudahy Packing Co. and Wilson Co.

into 14 separate and competing companies as follows: Armour and Swift each to be divided into five separate companies, and Cudahy and Wilson each to be di vided into two separate companies. MOVE HIT AS POLITICAL In addition, Clark seeks injunctive relief against the packers and their methods of operation. John Holmes, president of Swift, retorted that the suit was filed for political reasons in an attempt to "shift responsibility" for high prices. He said Swift has "not violated any law." George A. Eastwood, board chair man of Armour, said his company's meat profit last year was only 15 of a cent a pound, too small to be "re sponsible for the increase that has taken place in meat prices "He denied that Armour had "conspired" to divide livestock supplies or fix prices.

Among the methods of allegedly suppressing competition, according to the complaint, are (1) Controlling the supply of meat which each company obtains for sale by controlling the amount of livestock each will purchase; (2) Utilizing uniform cost formulas for arriving at selling prices; (3) Selling at "loading" rather than "delivered" weights; and (4 Selling at substantially identical prices and terms of sale. WANTS FREE CHANNELS Clark's complaint alleges that the "Big Four" packers accounted for 58 percent of the cattle, 54 percent of the hogs, 68 percent of the calves and 79 percent of the sheep slaughtered under Federal inspection during the past decade. In announcing the suit Clark said that "no avenue must be overlooked to prevent the basic necessities of life such as food from falling into the hands of monopolistic groups." "The channels of distribution between the farmer and the consumer must be kept free from ah restraints Continued on Page 7, Column 1 Chiang Demands Hard Fight on Reds NANKING, Sept. 15 (AP). President Chiang Kai-shek today called for austerity and hard work in China's "life and death struggle with the traitorous Communists." In a nation-wide address, Chiang castigated idlers, hoarders and speculators, warning them they must repent.

The message coincides with a vigorous campaign to enforce the new economic decrees. "The majority of the people," he said, "though subsisting barely above the starvation level, are con tributmg money and energy and lives to fight the rebels. There are, however, some who, like parasites. do not work and produce, and others who, as speculators, are engaged in hoarding and manipulation." Chiang declared Jobs must be found for "refugees, loafers and un employed." Taft Says Truman Defies Labor Act CINCINNATI, Sept. 15 (UP).

President Truman has encouraged "open defiance" of the Taft-Hartley labor law. Senator Robert A. Taft charged today. Taft derided the President's charge that he was guilty of improper conduct in approaching the National Labor Relations Board concerning the International Typographical Union (AFL( strike against Chicago newspapers. "President Truman's charge only shows that we have reached the silly season In politics." Taft said.

INTERNAL AFFAIRS "The President says he does not expect to interfere in internal affairs of the NLRB. If he finds that any branch of the executive department is failing to do its duty, it is his duty to call them to task. "The truth is that President Ttu man, by the veto message accepted so largely from the Communist sym pathizer Lee Pressman, and by other public statements, has encouraged the open defiance of the law now engaged in by some of the more radical labor bosses." The co-author of the law said Mr. Tension Incident at Sea Flarsllropped voir U.S. Skip TOKYO, Sept.

16 Thursday (AP). THE Liberty ship Moses Brown radioed today she had been circled Saturday night by two unidentified planes which dropped parachute flares bdt that she had not been fired upon. (An earlier report that the vessel had been fired on was received by the State Department in Washington, but the department had no details.) Myles S. Waterman, of the C. F.

Sharp agents for the Shepard Steamship which operates the Moses Brown, said the vessel radioed that the flares had been dropped while she was the Sea of Japan, about 50 miles east of Russia's Siberian port of Tetyukhe, en route from the port of Toro on Sakhalin Island to a port in north Korea. (The Sea of Japan is the normal trading route for shipping of Rus sian-occupied north Korea and Sakhalin.) THE ship is under charter to the Russians. It was carrying a cargo of coal from Toro.

15 (AP). More than 100 police and 30 workers were In jured in four hours of street fighting today when 90,000 aviation, automobile and steel industry workers went on strike. While a Communist spokesman for the General Confederation of Labor was telling Renault automobile work ers to "strike until victory," the fol lowers of Gen. Charles de Gaulle began their own nation-wide unof ficial referendum on whether the voters want new elections.

Imru. had been asked by an usher at the instruction of an unnamed lady to leave his box and "take a seat elsewhere in the hall." An association statement said that after the Incident, the Minister "left the hall." Constitution Hall is owned by the Daughters of the American Revolution, which has figured in controversies in the past because of its re fusal to rent the hall for concerts by Negro artists, except for charity af fairs.

However, there was no indica tion in the scientists' statement to night that the DAR figured in the latest incident.

Today's headlines describe the Labor Party's hurried rearmament plans: three months of extended service by thoe still increased recruitments, greater Jet plane production and more military appropriations.

Under prodding by the Conservatives, the present British Admin s-tration is heeding the alarmed public's demands it do something about the worsening' conditions. Parliamentary debate was postponed several days however, in the hope the week-end might develop a brighter picture But Moscow's message last night was painfully brief and today announcements only serve to heighten everyone's suspicions of Soviet policy.

The plain truth is that the British, like Americans, have gradually discovered they're in a diplomatic revolving door with Uncle Joe. When during the last lew days it was announced that Marshal Sokolovsky had teen discussing matters unrelated to Moscow's agreements in principle, namely Allied acceptance of Russian currency in Berlin. Continued on Page 25, Column 5 Fleeing Suspect Felled by Bullet Frank Severa, 35-year-old professional baseball umpire, was shot In the head this morning as he fled through the marsh near hts home in Pennsauken township, N. sifter breaking away from police who had arrested him on a charge of rape.

spokes men previously announced that safe and courteous operation could not be maintained with one-man cars. The instructions, while warning the operators they must "arrive at all time points on scheduled time and leave terminals, on scheduled time" also state they must operate in the interest of safety. The safety rules call for the trol ley operators to "stop at all face pointing switches: observe to the let ter all traffic regulations; make safety stops at all intersections: not to sacrifice safety while collecting fares; or operate if vision front or side is obscured. In addition, the instructions tell the operators to be "courteous and do not sacrifice courtesy just to make a schedule. Spokesmen for the PTC reported that there have been no unusual delays since one-man operation went into effect on Routes 5 and 65 on Monday.

The newly formed union commit tee sent telegrams to Mayor Bernard Samuel and the Public Utilities Commission earlier this week asking their support in opposing the new PTC operating program.
